Systems

This term we have starting learning about systems and how the parts in a system connect.
This week we have been looking at our star - the sun!
Here are some of the amazing information we have found out so far:

• The sun is our closest star.
• The sun provides us with energy, which supports life on our planet.
• The Earth orbits around the sun.
• The sun is way bigger than the Earth.
• The sun is VERY, VERY hot!
• The sun is made of gas.

We talked about this question.
What if we had 5 stars that were close to Earth?
We decided that if we had 5 stars as close to the Earth as the sun we would have no water because it would all dry up.  We also thought that it would be too hot for us to last long outside as it would be too hot to stay alive.
